Beaches, Rice Fields, and Sacred Festivals

The island of Bali is just one of the 13,677 islands in the Indonesian Archipelago; yet its physical beauty, gracefulness and the friendliness of its people has captured the hearts of people all over the world. Bali's natural attractions include her endless beaches, picturesque rice fields, sacred sites, active volcanoes and volcanic lakes. Balinese daily life constantly honours and praises the various gods and demons, both in a world seen and unseen. Hardly does a day go by without a procession or traditional festival somewhere on the island. To any outside, Balinese life may seem like a continuous celebration.
